Surveillance for highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza virus in synanthropic wildlife associated with poultry farms during an acute outbreak

Abstract: In November 2014, a Eurasian strain H5N8 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was detected in poultry in Canada. Introduced viruses were soon detected in the United States and within six months had spread to 21 states with more than 48 million poultry affected. In an effort to study potential mechanisms of spread of the Eurasian H5 virus, the United States Department of Agriculture coordinated several epidemiologic investigations at poultry farms. As part of those efforts, we sampled synanthropic birds and … Show more

“…Subsequently, poultry can have direct contact with this rodent induced contamination, or indirectly via movement of poultry workers, equipment or supplies (Shriner et al 2016). However, there is insufficient data to determine the virus load that can be established by this mechanical transmission route, and whether this is likely to result in infection in poultry.…”
